TL;DR · CAD Electromagnetic RFIC Simulation Engineer

As a CAD Electromagnetic RFIC Simulation Engineer, you will join the CAD organization to shape next-generation electromagnetic analysis methodologies for advanced RFIC and multi-die designs. You will apply first-principles understanding of Maxwell’s equations and field theory to develop and validate EM simulation flows using Finite Element and Method of Moments techniques. Your daily responsibilities include maintaining state-of-the-art 3D solvers, streamlining and automating SOC EM analysis CAD flows, and collaborating with design groups on requirements for post-layout flows. You will work with EDA vendors and foundries to qualify, debug, and enhance tools. The role requires proficiency in Tcl, Python, or Perl scripting, along with experience in extraction, timing, noise, and physical design. You will address complex problems involving package structures, S-parameter extraction, signal integrity, coupling, and shielding performance across advanced packaging and 3DIC systems.

What you'll do

  • Maintain and support state-of-the-art Finite-Element 3D and Method-of-Moments solvers from leading vendors.
  • Streamline and automate the entire SOC EM analysis CAD flow.
  • Model complex package and interposer structures to ensure high-accuracy S-parameter extraction.
  • Verify signal integrity, coupling, and shielding performance across advanced packaging and 3DIC systems.
  • Collaborate with design groups to address electromagnetics requirements for various post-layout flows.
  • Work with EDA vendors and foundries to perform tool qualification, debugging, and enhancement.
  • Develop and validate EM simulation flows using first-principles understanding of Maxwell’s equations.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor of Science degree and at least 3 years of relevant industry experience.
  • Experience in EDA tools, CAD flow, and RFIC methodology.
  • Proficiency in Tcl, Python, or Perl scripting languages.
  • Experience in electromagnetics analysis including extraction, timing, noise, simulation, physical design, and verification.
  • Hands-on knowledge of industry-leading EM solvers such as HFSS, Clarity, Helic/VeloceRF, EMX, Q3D, VRF, Momentum, or ADS.
  • Experience in developing large-scale software in multi-tech, multi-user, and multi-site environments.
  • Ability to coordinate and drive initiatives with little to no oversight.
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills.
